Yes, he is. A promise to lie can be broken or kept with equal loss of honor.
Only if one assumes that the loss of honor from lying is independent of the lie(s) told.
Harry has already been forbidden from leaving the Hogwarts wards without sufficient cause and escort by this time; lunch with Quirrell was explicitly included in this ban. That's not far from what he'd say as an innocent.
Very quotable.
